So set up a Wiki page on the Apache NetBeans Wiki, create a table, list all those features, assign an issue to each feature. If you have a different proposal for how to tackle this (and it can’t be “I will wait another 3 months and then write another e-mail just like this one”), please suggest it and implement it.
